The Twelvetrees Ramp over Bow Creek is now open for pedestrians and bikes, as part of what they're now calling the Leaway. 

Low tide, as you can see. [I posted here, pre-Olympics, on the Bow Back Rivers, and how much better it would all look if they'd build a lock downstream so it would no longer be tidal. Though it would lose that urban wasteland vibe.]

It's now a great deal quicker and easier to cross over, but you still can't get past Cody Dock. As a result it's pretty much deserted, but eventually it'll open up all the way down to Bow Ecology Park, East India Dock Basin, Trinity Buoy Wharf and the Royal Docks. And then, presumably, the walkers and cyclists will come.

But, like all these post-Olympic developments, everything moves slowly. Very slowly.
